'Stark…' Lana was astonished, looking at the video that was playing before her felt unreal, and it almost made her vomit each time she saw how close Stark was to die, 'What the hell is wrong with you…'

She closed her eyes, not even daring to watch it until the end.

Instead, she just looked at the rest of the people still in the canyon who were watching the video to its end.

And after a few minutes…

"That bastard is insane," Thorn's eyes widened, then he laughed, "He is actually insane, there is no way…"

"Lana, how did you find and bring someone so… crazy?" Stella (yes, she has the same name as the pink hair) looked at the blonde-haired archer with an open mouth.

"…" Lana couldn't understand as she didn't have the guts to finish the video, but immediately pieced the information together thanks to all the talk around her.

"How the fuck is a level 20 or so as fast as an up-and-rising elite group that are each over level 100?"

"Doesn't make sense, and did you see how he kept avoiding their attacks?"

"Am I the only one who saw how he got rid of Mark (blue-hair), Tyson (dark-skinned man) and the Elona twins?"

'Phew…' he sighed in relief, thanking whoever was above for allowing Stark to live.

But if he had succesfully escaped from them.

It only meant one thing…

[Someone had entered the BOSS area!]

Such a panel came to confirm everyone's suspicions, and so now all they needed to do was wait in hopes of Stark dying inside the boss area to hopefully catch up.

"Interesting…" Vex smiled, "Very… very… interesting…"

The 'bunny-masked man' was already becoming the talk of the rift, and soon enough of the entire world once all these highlights get out.

He was low-level, yet extremely strong and shrouded in mystery.

"Who is he…" was everyone's sole question.

***

[Boss Area: "The Shadow Monument"]

[Warning! Your level is too low, it is advised to turn back!]

[Warning! You will suffer, please turn back!]

[Warning! One of the fifteen 'Godless Demons' member is on the other side, please go back!]

Of course, no matter how many messages appeared around Stark, he would keep going.

He could hear the pleads of the souls, his vision completely blocked by the fog as he kept advancing for a seemingly endless amount of time.

As the messages warning him to turn back sounded, Stark gritted his teeth and pushed forward, determined to face the boss. He knew it would be a difficult battle, but the thrill of the unknown kept him going.

Finally, after what felt like hours of walking through the fog, he reached the end of the tunnel, and passed through it…

The boss area was bathed in a deep blue light, casting eerie shadows on the ground.

He was in a very small chamber, and around him were walls with intricate and uncomprehensible scriptures.

And in front of him was a giant door: it was the final thing that separated him from the boss.

'…' Stark opened his [Spatial Inventory] and took both the [Conjoined Warrior's Cloak] and the [Max Health Potion] from the void.

~GULP, GULP~

He drank up the entirety of the green liquid inside the glass, and immediately, he felt all his wounds being closed, as well as his strength, stamina, and HP recovering.

[You have upgraded 'Double Assault' to level 2!]

[You have upgraded 'Double Assault' to level 3!]

He knew this skill would be his saving grace inside this monument area, so that's why he decided to upgrade it.

Then he wore the [Conjoined Warrior's Cloak] around his head and upper half.

[Special Perk:] Wearing this cloak while fighting will result in the chance of inflicting a critical hit on your opponent (dealing massive damage), the chance is only 5%.

"Alright, here we go," Stark said to himself, mentally preparing for the upcoming battle.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed the door wide open.

There was a path drawn from the door he had opened to the end of the giant room by a giant red carpet, dozens of pillars placed across the room in random positions.

It looked like he was in an empty museum, although there was no furnitures or anything of interest other than the pillars and the white walls, which were still inscribed with weird symbols and text, one of them reading: "The apostles want revenge…"

And at the very end of the room, at the end of the red carpet… stood a stone statue, placed on a giant display which ressembled those from colosseum's.

The statue was that of an angel with pitch dark wings on its back, a crimson sword with spikes coming out randomly from its sides, and a crown with pointy edges was placed on its head.

The statue was surrounded by a red mist, making it very hard to see the actual figure.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that this was the boss of the 'Shadow Monument'.

He began walking toward it, the statue was two times Stark's size, which was still relatively smaller than most other monsters or bosses he had faced.

As he got closer to the statue, he noticed another inscribed text on the walls, and it read: "The Chosen One shall come face to face with their destiny…"

'Chosen…' that was his code name, and also the name of his talent, but it's only a coincidence, right?

And when he was ten meters away from the statue… he heard a voice coming from all directions, making it impossible to pin point its source, yet he knew that it was the angel who spoke.

"The Chosen One has appeared…" its voice was like a mixture of a deep and resonant echo, filled with an ominous aura that sent a shiver down Stark's spine.

~BOOM~

The layer of stone that formed the statue desintegrated, forcing Stark to back away if he didn't want to get it.

And suddenly… it started moving, jumping from the display to the ground of the chamber, its crimson sword in its hands, and its crown and wings shining from the deep blue aura that emanated from above.

"You have come alone, it is your biggest mistake," a powerful aura surrounded the angel as it began walking toward Stark, a neutral expression on its face.

'Alright… let's go…'

[Judicator, the Fallen Angel (BOSS)]
